    he point of the game is pretty simple. In a PM to me, answer each of the 10 questions below.


    Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. You don't want a unique answer, you have to answer with what you think everyone else will put.


    If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive Thanks!



    Write your answers like this...

    Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. Thanks.


    JUST LIKE THIS:

    1. Dr Maria O' Brien
    2. Kathy Wells
    ...


    Those who don't reply like this will have 20 points removed for giving me extra work.

    The game will end when we have 25 entrants or after 5 days, whichever comes first.


    1. Name a popular type of ethnic food
    2. Name something made with minced meat
    3. Name a traditional Irish dish/meal
    4. Name a pizza topping besides cheese or tomato
    5. Name a dish/meal that you associate with France
    6. Name a method of cooking an egg
    7. Other than McDonald's name a fast food restaurant chain
    8. Name a brand of cereal
    9. Name a type of soup
    10. Name a type of Cheese (but not cheddar)

    btw, I took Q1 to mean a particular ethnic dish as opposed to a particular ethnicity. Was this what you meant?

    For information :

    1. Name a popular type of ethnic food

    You can answer either with a location that a type of popular type ethnic food comes from or a dish in particular, it's really up to you what you think other people will answer.


    For those that answered 'curry' for question 1, I'm going to consider that you mean an Indian curry unless otherwise stated in the PM okay? :)

    If you put down 'curry' but you didn't mean Indian then just PM me.



    8. Name a brand of cereal

    It's a brand folks, not a type or cereal :) If you said something like 'General Mills' then that's fine, "General Mills - Frosty O's " ok, but not just the type i.e. "Frosty O's"

    I must admit that I'm surprised by how many different types of French foods have been given and it seems that my answer for the fast food chain is really out though I thought that it was the answer everyone would give !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Done. Good work once again Ponster :).

    The answers to the ethnic dish should be interesting, lots to choose form there. I could only think of two French dishes, I just know I chose the wrong one.

    By the way Ponster any thoughts on possible ploys to influence voters?
    Not saying this is one exactly and definitely, but maybe for your next quiz mention that answers should not be posted until after results are out.

    Just a thought. Toodles and fingers crossed for results ;)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,912 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    Tell you what, I'll let you know how many people said 'snails' after gino85's post and how many before. :)

    ANSWERS....




    1. Curry 22
    1. Chinese 15
    1. Humus 1
    1. Italian 2
    1. Jamaican Jerk 1
    1. Sushi 1

    I lumped everyone who said 'curry' and 'Indian' together (except those who said Chinese curry. All I want to know now is what the hell 'Jamaican Jerk' is :)


    2. Spag Bol 20
    2. 2. Shepherd's Pie 7
    2. cottage pie 1
    2. Hamburger 11
    2. Stew 1
    2. Lasagne 2

    Clear-cut winner here. I thought more people would say Lasagne though.

    3. Irish Stew 34
    3. Bacon and Cabbage 4
    3. coddal 1
    3. Irish breakfast 2

    Coddal? Come on...it's the most popular answer folks :p

    4. Pepperoni 30
    4. chicken 1
    4. Ham 8
    4. mushrooms 1
    4. Pineapple 1
    4. Salami 1

    Meat-eaters rule !

    5. Snails 19
    5. Frog Legs 12
    5. boef bourguignon 1
    5. Bouillabaisse 2
    5. Coq au vin 4
    5. Crepes 1
    5. Fois Gras 1
    5. Fondue 1
    5. Ratatoullie 1

    Wow...what a mix. Seems a lot of you have been over here at some stage or other. Not my favourite but snails is the clear winner.

    6. Boil 27
    6. fry 10
    6. Omelette 1
    6. Poach 2
    6. scramble 2

    Anyone one where if you didn't get the top answer then you had no chance of winning. I didn't think anyone would say 'poach' though...


    7. Burger King 37
    7. KFC 2
    7. pizza hut 1
    7. Supermacs 2

    Poor Supermacs !


    8. Kelloggs 39
    8. Weetabix 1
    8. corn flakes 1
    8. Cornflakes 1

    I asked for a Brand in the question and posted in the thread giving an example of what a brand name actually was. I couldn't therefore just accept 'cornflakes'.

    9. Vegetable 18
    9. chicken 9
    9. Farmhouse Vegetable 1
    9. Heinz 1
    9. leak&potato 1
    9. Mushroom 1
    9. Oxtail 5

    A Surprise for me here. I never thought that 'veg' would be so popular !

    10. Edam 10
    10. Brie 9
    10. Blue 1
    10. Cottage 1

    Interestingly, Shepherd's Pie is traditionally made with minced lamb, not minced beef. What most people call Shepherd's Pie is actually Cottage Pie. I saw an episode of the F-word once where Gordon Ramsey got quite worked up about the distinction.

    Ponster, are you still accepting incorrect answers even if they are popular?
